The US Geological Survey has been working to implement an earthquake alert system since 2006.
It was inaugurated in 2012 after being rebuilt by a consortium of builders, Valori Scarl, which won a contract from Amatrice town council for €700,000 (£600,000) to implement anti-earthquake safety standards in the school buildings, according to judicial sources.
Lessons from the Tabas earthquake had to wait a long time to be learned and implemented towards earthquake disaster preparedness and disaster management.
These lessons still have a long way to go before being implemented towards earthquake disaster risk reduction in Iran.
It is a successor to the "Regional Likelihood Models (RELM)" project (special issue in Seismol. Res. Lett., 78(1), 2007) that implemented an earthquake forecast testing study in the California area.
For instance, a strategy supported by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), called "baby tents," was implemented in earthquake-affected areas, home to more than 65% of the country's population.
This outbreak was not caused by the earthquake but was detected because of epidemiologic surveillance that was implemented after the earthquake.
"There are several groups now receiving alerts from our demonstration earthquake alert system, but BART is the first to implement an automated response to earthquake alerts.
Casualty prediction in a building during earthquakes benefits to implement the economic loss estimation in the performance-based earthquake engineering methodology.
However, continuous observations of stress have not been implemented yet for earthquake monitoring programs.
